This is a beautiful Cadillac convertible that has spent the great majority of its life in southern California. I can not find any rust on the car from pulling the carpet up or inspecting it from underneath. I purchased it and shipped it to the northwest, where it has been garaged and pampered every day since. The vehicle has a clean and clear title in my name. In the past 25 years the car has had two owners including myself. 

In the last year, the car has new paint, a new top, new hydraulics, new weatherstripping (all of it, not just a couple pieces), new tires (2013), new brakes, new radio and speakers (radio not yet installed as of now), and plenty more items. I have a box of receipts. 

Mechanically, the car is excellent. The engine fires up quickly and runs smooth. The transmission shifts just like it should and has recently been serviced with a new filter and fluid. It drives very solidly going down the road. The alignment, suspension, brakes and steering all feel just as they should. I would trust this car to go on a road trip. 

The interior was reupholstered some time ago, although I dont know how long. it looks very good with no rips in the seats. The top is a quality vinyl replacement, and the hydraulics were also replaced at the time. it moves up and down nicely. 

The underside of the car is very ncie in appearance, no rust or excessive grime. It's certainly not frame off restored nice, but you can tell it hasnt seen rain. 

The paint is new as of early 2014 and it looks great. its been cut and buffed and you cant go far down the road without getting a thumbs up or "nice car!" 
The door jambs, under the trunk and the sides of the hood and fenders were painted at the same time. The sheet metal on this car is very straight. This was not a cheap paint job to get the car out the door. I have pictures of before the car was painted to show that it is not hiding anything scary under there. It has been thoroughly cut and buffed. 

All 4 power windows work, heater works, AC needs a recharge (pump kicks on but it doesnt get cool) and the power seat is finicky

I have a brand new original style stereo that does FM and ipod input and fits in exactly like the original and looks original but as of now it is still in the box along with 4 name brand speakers. 


There is likely more I am forgetting but the bottom line is it is a beautiful car that runs and drives very nice with new paint, top and much more. I have invested much into this car and I am very confident that it will give someone many years of service.

Cadillac cancels sponsorship of Trump's PGA event

Thu, Jun 2 2016

Cadillac has ended its sponsorship of the PGA's World Golf Championship, which has incited a response from Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Without the automaker's money to run the event at a property owned by Trump in Miami, the PGA announced it will move the WGC to Mexico City. Trump responded by saying, "Cadillac's been a great sponsor, but they're moving it to Mexico. They're moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. They're moving it to Mexico City. And I'm saying, you know, what's going on here? It is so sad when you look at what's going on with our country." In 2010, the PGA announced a multi-year deal with Cadillac to sponsor the WGC, starting in 2011. Since 2007, the event has been held at what is now known as the Trump National Doral Miami location. Trump took ownership of the property in 2012. Cadillac issued a statement to Autoblog that says: "We are proud to have been the title sponsor of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship since 2011. We have made the decision, however, not to extend our sponsorship beyond this year. We thank the PGA TOUR for a great six years with the Cadillac Championship."

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
